Electronic music duo 8Ö8, made up of Shöckface and ero808, have just dropped their latest single, “HEADSHÖT,” a powerful anthem aimed at exposing the corruption in the entertainment industry. The track combines Shöckface’s signature gritty and glitchy sound with ero808’s hypnotic vocals, creating a dynamic electronic rap heater that is sure to make an impact.
According to ero808, the inspiration for “HEADSHÖT” came from a difficult time in their career when they were dealing with a label that was trying to rip them off, fighting with their management, and feeling disillusioned with the business side of the music industry. Shöckface adds that the song was also influenced by the highs and lows of navigating the industry and that it holds a special significance for them because it symbolizes their journey and partnership.
The lyrics of “HEADSHÖT” are unapologetically direct, with 8Ö8 singing about their lack of patience for “greedy sons of a b*tches” and their determination to succeed despite the obstacles they’ve faced. This message of resistance and resilience is sure to resonate with anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider in the industry or been taken advantage of by those in power.
This is 8Ö8’s third release since their debut album “QÜICKSAND” last October, and it’s clear that they’re not afraid to speak their minds and make a statement with their music. With “HEADSHÖT,” they’ve delivered a powerful and timely anthem that is sure to connect with listeners who are tired of the status quo and want to see real change in the industry.
